Oh yeah forgot about the regionals

Can someone please tell me what type of screen is used as the main video wall on these 9 news sets? Is it real or keyed?

Bob · January 19, 2018, 1:21pm

Real LED screen.

Yep, the screens on Nine News’ sets are definitely real. If they were chroma keyed, you probably wouldn’t see the slight pixilation or blurriness in some of the zoomed in shots (particularly in HD).

Thanks guys. Just wondered because those ugly graphics look too high def to be on a real screen and tight shots could convince anyone that it’s just a key. (Having only seen caps and videos on my phone)

Pretty clear looking screens. Ive been through 9 Perths set. I do notice aswell but already probably mentioned on here but Perth have a videowall for weather but the rest of the network has large plasma screens.

It would also make it a bit pointless for Nine to spend thousands or more on the main backdrop screens only to use them as a very expensive key.

Not sure about the other cities, but Adelaide gave a Facebook Live tour of the set and took viewers behind the main backdrop screen to see the layout of the individual panels.

Chroma keying off an LED wall is disastrous. I’ve tried it.

Bit of a technical fault in Melbourne tonight with the 9news.com.au super running through a number of stories.

Bob · January 21, 2018, 12:30pm

Why would you do that?

melbournefan · January 22, 2018, 12:16am

Fire alarm went off some hours earlier. May have messed up VizRT?

Nick · January 22, 2018, 7:15am

Brenton Ragless will return to the Adelaide news tonight after his summer spent over in Sydney on Today.

Wade · January 22, 2018, 7:39am

Just curious to see if anyone knows how long reporters have been using microphones with the website on them? I’ve only just noticed

SydneyCityTV · January 22, 2018, 7:43am

The “9News.com.au” branded mic flags have been in use for about a month (and possibly longer) here in Sydney.

Wade · January 22, 2018, 7:44am

Ah fair enough. I think they’ve only just come to Adelaide. Could be wrong. But tonight was the first night I noticed it.

xyz223 · January 22, 2018, 7:47am

they have slowly filtered in to Adelaide’s bulletin over the last couple of weeks

Wade · January 22, 2018, 7:47am

That makes sense lol

Radiohead · January 22, 2018, 8:05am

Automation gremlin with the wrong camera kicking in during weather.

Erin having a cuppa.

Petarkco · January 22, 2018, 8:18am

And playout issues in the preceding ad break:

Nick · January 22, 2018, 8:33am

Out of all the capital city automated news studios, how come Nine Sydney is the only one that sems to have these problems?
